Arsenal fans have been given an extended glimpse of their new adidas home kit for the 2019-20 season after the strip was seemingly leaked on Thursday evening.

The video - which appears to have been accidentally released by adidas on YouTube before being deleted (though not before fans posted in on Twitter) - features a number of the club's current stars, former players and famous fans, running on the theme of the Gunners, and their new jersey, representing London.

The kit is a return to manufacturers adidas, who had a deal with the club between 1986 and 1994. The new strip features a smart collar with adidas' iconic three-stripe design running along the shoulders, and the company's logo on the right side of the chest.

Ian Wright narrates the video while walking along the streets of north London, beginning with: "Let me tell you something.

"You ain't born a Londoner; you're made one."

Adidas appear to have made a playful twist on the idea of the kit launch, with Arsenal players such as Mesut Ozil, Sead Kolasinac, Alex Iwobi, Matteo Guendouzi, Laurent Koscielny, Alex Iwobi, Hector Bellerin, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette getting in on the act.

Ozil is the first to show off the kit after getting a fresh trim in a barber shop with Kolasinac.

Lacazette and Aubameyang share breakfast at a north north cafe, while former club captain Tony Adams speaks Chinese on TV with the onlooking Ozil telling Kolasinac: "Oi listen, Tony's on a mad ting you know!"

Kolasinac's stoic reply? "True dat fam."

One of Arsenal's most famous fans, Idris Elba, also makes an appearance, reflecting on the fact that he could have played for the Gunners having been "... top scorer under-9's Canning Town."

There is also a tribute to David 'Rocky' Rocastle, a fan-favourite who passed away in 2001, with his former friend and team-mate saying of the club: "We'll make you invincible... that's how we create legends that never die."

The video has London at its heart, with Bellerin declaring at a mock press conference: "What can I say man, north London is home."

And the video duly finishes with the simple message (and likely hashtag): "London is home".
